Categories to Include Black in a Quince:

The Invitations

The Venue

Black is such a simple yet strong color that on its own will make a statement. However, it is also a color that pairs with any other color; meaning, another color can be selected for the accents to add an extra pop to the venue. Some typical accent colors for black are gold, white, and red.

The Cake

Additionally, the cake has to match the venue in a way that emphasizes the theme of the quince. Sometimes, the cake is the statement piece of the venue and stands tall in the middle; the cake pictured below will definitely be the center of attention at any venue.

The Dress

Not only is black a very flattering color, yet it is also a dress color that demands attention to the wearer. Once more, black is a simple color that can stand out even more by adding little accents of color; whether that be in a headpiece, jewelry, or designs on the dress.

Again, with black being such a flexible and versatile color, it can go with either a light and natural makeup look or a dark and bold one. Below is an example of both styles that pair adoringly with a black dress.
